Overview
- Mike Evans exited Monday night’s game against the Washington Commanders with aggravated Achilles soreness and was officially ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
- Evans caught three passes for 94 yards in the first half before leaving the field after a 16-yard reception and limping to the locker room.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team knew the tendon had been a problem during the week and does not expect additional testing, calling the issue one that flared up during play.
- A 49ers insider reported the Achilles is intact but that Evans will likely miss some time, with a possible target of returning after the team’s Week 8 bye.
- Evans’ absence further strains an already depleted receiver room and could force roster moves or lineup changes for the Week 7 trip to Atlanta while medical monitoring determines his short-term availability.
